It takes one tenth of a second to make a first impression. This is no different in business, especially when it comes to signage - as 55% of first impressions are visual.

When you meet a new person, you naturally look at their face first, and it allows you to make a first impression about them. The same applies to trade signage – it’s basically the face of a business.

What makes a good first impression?

Being a trade signage supplier, our team of experts at NCS Trade Signs are dedicated to helping our clients create an unforgettable first impression with their customers’ signage.

Here are our top tips on how to make a good first impression with bespoke trade signage:

Choosing the right type of sign

It may seem obvious, but there’s a lot to be said for paying careful consideration to which type of sign is best.

The space you have available and the type of business you are supplying plays a huge part in this decision. For example, you are unlikely to get away with installing 8m high totems in front of a row of independent shops! Equally as unlikely is you recommending the brightest neon signage for a chain of legal or financial firms.

With years of experience in bespoke trade signs for many different industries, you can rely on NCS Trade Signs for something truly unique.

Signage design

Your customers’ sign has to convey a powerful message. Whilst we as trade sign suppliers are unlikely to be involved in designing the content of a sign, we’ve seen plenty of striking, impactful signs that display confidence and inspire trust. Therefore, we know a thing or two about what looks good (and what doesn’t)!

Everything about your customers’ sign should be on brand, from the size, shape, material and finish.

Location, location, location

As experts in trade signage manufacture, we like to see a project through to the very end. This means we provide our sign company clients with installation advice to help them achieve a good first impression when it comes to their customers’ signage.

The location of a sign is as important as how it looks. It must be legible, easy for your audience to see (whether on foot or by road) and close by to your customers’ business premises.

Choosing the location of a sign before starting the design will allow you to supply made-to-measure, bespoke trade signage from NCS Trade Signs, guaranteeing a perfect fit and immediate impact.

Consider it an advertisement

As your customer’s chosen sign supplier, you will have become part of their marketing department. Think about their signage as being an addition to their advertising.
